I put on a new AEM short intake. It makes a slight whistling sound when I push the gas pedal. Is this normal? I've already tripled checked the clamps and they are all on tight. Also it seems that i run higher rpm's(30mph=3200 rpm's in 3rd gear). It's a '99 LS, manual tranny.

 

It's normal.

It is normal, and its the throttle body thats whistling, not the intake. You can't hear it with the factory intake, but with a CAI or short ram, the sound is audible.

 

Yep it is very normal. However, I very highly doubt that you did anything to you tranny gearing by installing a SRI!

 

dont worry about it

you'll learn to love it.

 

is your pvc looped back to the intake, or is it open with a filter?
either way its normal but you can get a lot of suckin and wistle sounds from an unlooped pvc

 

It is looped back to the intake. Thanks for all the answers, now I can sleep a little better tonight.

its normal. some intakes are louder than others but they all more or less "whistle". dont be worried about it. it sounds cool anyway

Its caused by a sharp edge on the throttle blade. You can use a file and break the sharp edge off of it and it'll make the sound better.

 

I love when you can find the control point, and just hold the throttle at that exact point and just whislte all the way thru a gear...

 

so your engine whistles while it works, what's wrong with that?

 

normal... where in KC do you live?
